Dolemite Is My Name (2019)
Beautifully portrayed story of grit
The movie is a beautifully portrayed story of grit and having the support of a few good people around you.
The writers and Murphy showed Rudy Ray Moore as a real entertainer in that he did not care about displaying his ego to the audience - he just wanted to deliver what he knew the people enjoyed.
His friends did not always share his vision but they supported him until the end anyways. Their roles were played by actors who can project soul into the screen and were shot to make the most out of that soul.
Even the sound track was great and made watching the movie more entertaining and inspiring!
Turn Up Charlie (2019)
Not continuing to watch because of the little girl
I enjoy everything on this show but I'm not sure how they meant the little girl to affect people. She just comes across as a spoilt child and did not at all pull at any of my heartstrings (which is what I usually feel when I watch kids; I tear up at diaper commercials; yes, I am that person). Everything else is cool though, just watching how mean the child is upsets me - not all who are neglected turn out mean and manipulative; sure they'll have issues but they are not all mean, and really for someone so precocious the character could have thought of something better to get her parents attention than to act up like she is doing. This type of character is not new but it is new to me to be upset by its portrayal. The character could have been written / acted out better.
